We just published our review of the Samsung Series 9 (NP900) last month, and Samsung is already updating it to make it even more awesome than it already is. Samsung is announcing its flagship laptop will be receiving a 13.3-inch, 1920 x 1080 LED display which is combined with the company’s SuperBright technology to provide a 50 percent increase in its brightness compared to competing screens. Touchscreen has been left of the cutting room floor for the new Series 9 laptop, which could certainly be a deal breaker if that’s what you’re looking for in your laptops these days.
The new Series 9 still retains its astounding slim frame, even though it’s now equipped with a 1080p display as it’s a half-inch thick and weighs in at 2.56 pounds. Its internal specs also include an Intel Core i7 processor, 4GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD with Windows 8 as the operating system. Samsung says the new Series 9 will provide up to eight hours of battery life, which is a slight improvement over what we saw with the NP900′s 7-hour battery life. Retailing for $1,899.99, hopefully its 1080p-touchless display will entice you enough to spend that kind of cash.

When it comes to technology, more often than not we hear about China censoring the internet and whatnot. In fact for those unfamiliar, popular services such as YouTube and Twitter have their own Chinese counterparts, such as Youku and Weibo. China has also launched their own mobile operating system in place of Android (although it is based off Android), and even has a Google of their own in the form of Baidu. Needless to say, China appears to be going out of their way to ensure that they are in control when it comes to technology and unsurprisingly, open-sourced operating system, Linux, has been revealed to be China’s operating system of choice. 
With both Chrome and Android being Google products, it was a logical assumption that Chrome and Android could somehow merge of be integrated with each other. After all since Chrome is an app that can be downloaded for Android and iOS, it almost makes sense that both products would see a merge in the future. However according to a discussion with reporters in India, Google’s Eric Schmidt stated that both Android and Chrome would remain separate products, but he did acknowledge that there could be an overlap of either. We guess with Google hoping that Chrome OS takes off, keeping the operating system separate of Android might help encourage users to adopt Chrome OS for their browsing needs, while using Android for their smartphone/tablet needs. That’s just speculation but what do you guys think? Would you have liked to see both products merge together? If Microsoft managed to create Windows 8 for both laptops, desktops and tablets, why not Google, right?
